Techdirt Podcast Episode 308: Getting Out Of Control
from the big-and-complex dept
Our lives are lived at the intersection of vast systems (economic, technological, and beyond) that are incredibly complex and often chaotic, and it's hard to understand and embrace what author Neil Chilson's new book, Getting Out Of Control, calls "the emergent mindset." On this week's episode, Neil joins us to discuss his book and why you can't simply "control" complex systems.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

I’m reading through the preview of the book right now. It’s really coming through that he used to work at the FTC under the Trump Administration, and that he now works at the Charles Koch Institute, and he’s railed against net neutrality quite frequently. Such an amazing guest! Is he a cryptocurrency and/or NFT shill, as well?

And his thoughts on complex systems being things one cannot simply control?

Accounting Errors
Accounting Errors Learn how to deal with them. Your account system is the key to concluding what is occurring in your business. It’s similarly dynamic to assessment return medication and different administration acquiescence arrearages. That is why picking up effects exactly is all-important. Unfortunately, whether you apply a cloud- based or desktop accounting software system, miscalculations can occur. https://www.accountscomparison.com/accounting-errors-and-how-to-fix/
